Wheel Alignment and Tire Balance

The tires and wheels on your vehicle were aligned and

balanced carefully at the factory to give you the longest

tire life and best overall performance. Adjustments to

wheel alignment and tire balancing will not be necessary

on a regular basis. However, if you notice unusual tire

wear or your vehicle pulling to one side or the other, the

alignment may need to be checked. If you notice your

vehicle vibrating when driving on a smooth road, your

tires and wheels may need to be rebalanced. See your

dealer for proper diagnosis.

Wheel Replacement

Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked or badly rusted

or corroded. If wheel nuts keep coming loose, the

wheel, wheel bolts and wheel nuts should be replaced.

If the wheel leaks air, replace it (except some

aluminum wheels, which can sometimes be repaired).

See your dealer if any of these conditions exist.

Your dealer will know the kind of wheel you need.

Each new wheel should have the same load-carrying

capacity, diameter, width, offset and be mounted

the same way as the one it replaces.

If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts

or wheel nuts, replace them only with new GM

original equipment parts. This way, you will be sure to

have the right wheel, wheel bolts and wheel nuts

for your vehicle.

{CAUTION:

Using the wrong replacement wheels, wheel

bolts, or wheel nuts on your vehicle can be

dangerous. It could affect the braking and

handling of your vehicle, make your tires lose

air and make you lose control. You could have

a collision in which you or others could be

injured. Always use the correct wheel, wheel

bolts and wheel nuts for replacement.

Notice: The wrong wheel can also cause problems

with bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer or

odometer calibration, headlamp aim, bumper height,

vehicle ground clearance, and tire or tire chain

clearance to the body and chassis.

See Changing a Flat Tire on page 5-72 for more

information.
